Of House bills passed by Congress the Pres
idcnt has killed thirty by pocket" veto Of
measures originating in the Senate. three only
met that sad fate. This division of Executive
disfavOr will not be relished by the leading
Democrats WHO supcrintended the legislation
of the House. Generally speaking, however,
the country will not suffer greatly by the failure
of these measures TO become laws. although
in several instances, where private rights were
chiefly concerned, the Presidents action will
operate unjustly. 1t is not possible glancing
over the list of these slain bills, to decide what
fundamental principles of right or wrong, or
Of good government. Mr. Cleveland thought
would be violated if he should approve what
Congress had approved.
There is no doubt that the international
yacht race around the British Isles. in honor OF
the Queens jubilee. will be rs interesting an
incident OF this years sport as loyal British
yachtsmen can make it, The Prince of Wales
has taken it under his patronage, and from an
English point of view that insures a noteworthy
contest. To the imagination this race is most
attractive. But it decidedly will not prove
that the boat that wins is the best yacht. Sue
cess will be the reward of the boat whose pilot
Scotland, and can steer nearest TO the shore
at tho same time keeping his yacht within all
the conditions of fast sailing. OF course
American yachts under good guidance will
have just as good chance as those of any
other nationality.
II report may be believed, Russia's ill-tcmpcr
over the suppression of the latest revolt in
Bulgaria has now manifested itself in request
to the Powers of Europe to join with the Gar
I'm protesting against the execution Of the in
surgents. OF course, it is not possible that
any Government in Europe should consent to
tiis proposal. The simple reason is that the
Regents of Bulgaria and the Sobranje arc the
legitimate SUCCESSORS of Prince Alexander and
the sole depository Of constitutional power i'll
their country. To protest against their treat
ment OF rebels therefore, would stultfy any
constitutional government in the world. That
Russia should ask it shows how loosely the
Gar and his advisers have graspcd the idea
OF constitutional propriety.
1t is unfortunate that trouble has broken out
again between the 7th Regiment Veterans and
the officers Of the regiment proper The vet
Grams have no desire to dctract from the we'll
deserved honors bestowed upon their comrades
In more actiyc service. Indeed, they have no
need Of borrowed glory. But why they should
give up uniform when any one may wear n
uniform. or surrender titles which the laws of
the State recognize, is not clear In regard to
insignia of rank, he concession of wearing the
rame on the breast instead of on the shoulder
might perhaps be made: but that is not point
of grave importance. At any rate some com
promise of the difficulty (the origin of which
is commonly attributed TO an officer now ont
Of the service of the Siate) ought 10 be arrived
ct speedily. Tho record of the 7th is glorious.

left by differences unworthy brave soldiers
and honorcd veterans.
